As for the car, funny story, but I have a little chipmunk to thank for pinpointing what probably went wrong. Kept seeing the critter 3 days in a row as I was heading to work chilling out by the side of my car before hightailing at the sight of me. Then he was chilling on the hood of my car this afternoon and ducked into the hood after I approached. Opened the hood to see where it went and I had a good look at my car's interior before all hell broke loose. I was never truly sure if it got out of my car though, despite giving it plenty of warning. If not, it had a wild ride to be sure! ^_^;
